Let's get your party started - with cocktails in your kitchen

Her new flat was the venue, the music was pumping “everybody wants to be famous, ain’t nobody want to be nameless” was da lyrics and the most popular drink of the night was 

Sex on the Beach – the absolut most popular combination of vodka, Archers peach schnapps, cranberry and orange juices. The link above gives you an idea about how to make it at home – and remember when he mentions peach schnapps, we of course mean Archers here in the UK. You can watch this video clip to see how it’s made Stateside. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x312oh_sex-on-the-beach-cocktail-drink-rec_school

We also served Grasshopper, Tequila Sunrise, Sandbar, and Kir Royale. The 2 mocktails were our old classics the Merry Berry Cherry and China Blue.

We’ve also run a 21st party at a house in Leicester. We’ve taken our first cocktail enquiry from one of the large salubrious wedding venue hotels in rural Leicestershire too. So we’ll be working on a corking cocktail menu for the bride. She’s got a few green things going on in her wedding colouring – so that gives us a few ideas.

We also feel the need to give you more cocktail recipes soon, as we guess this may be what you’re visiting this site for. Let us know at fun@cocktailshakerboys.co.uk

The theme was an 80s night so we got all Bananaramary, topped off with a dash of Foreigner, mixed in with a bit of Nik Kershaw. You just know it was gonna be good.

The Cocktail Shaker Boys offered a range of 80s classic cocktails for the event including Pina Colada, Tequila Sunrise, Harvey Wallbanger, Kir Royale and this the Blue Lagoon…..

Blue Lagoon - Big at 80s night in Milton Keynes

We’re always interested in which drinks are popular, and although other drinks were popular early on, we were serving lots of Harvey Wallbangers and Blue Lagoons later. The amazing blue colour and the light flavour helped make this a popular choice.

This will make an appearance again soon !

We love making cocktails, and if you’re here we guess you love drinking them.
